TV3 star Elaine Crowley has opened up about her “midlife crisis” as she approaches the big 40.

Elaine, 39, who’s been dating her mystery man for over a year, revealed she’s anxious about whether she’ll ever have a family.

She told TV Now magazine: “I’m kind of having a freak out, ‘oh my God, I’m not married, I don’t know if I’ll have kids, I don’t know what’s going on - and the way life expectancy is going I’ll be here until I’m 120,’ so I have to stop worrying, I’m a terrible worrier.

“I’m having a bit of a midlife crisis now. I don’t know what the hell I am at the moment.”

Almost a year after appearing on Celebrity Operation Transformation the chatshow host admits she has not managed to keep the weight off.

A former TV3 news anchor Elaine confessed those days are well behind her as her sexy talk topics on The Elaine Show have affected her credibility.

She said: “I’m not sure if I could go back to news, I think my cred might be slightly damaged after talking about mankinis to Brazilian and everything else on Midday.

“I do miss news, I miss it an awful lot especially when there are big things going on in the world, but if I start ranting on about political stuff at three o’clock in the afternoon - it’d be a bit frustrating for viewers - it’s hard to keep it light sometimes.

“But I’d like to be able to do more serious interviews, so who knows what form I can do that in; but not my show.”
